Strangers When We Meet
By David Bowie

A
All my friends

Now seem so thin and frail
           E
Slinky secrets
                D/F#
Hotter than the sun
		   A
No peachy prayers

No trendy rechauffe
	        E
I'm with you
		    D/F#
So I can't go on

Chorus:
		E
All my violence
	   D		        A
Raining tears upon the sheet
            E
I'm bewildered/resentful
		D		        A
For we're strangers when we meet

	        A
Blank screen TV

Preening ourselves in the snow
		E
Forget my name
		   D/F#
But I'm over you
        A
Blended sunrise

And it's a dying world
		       E
Humming Rheingold
			    D/F#
We scavenge up our clothes
(Chorus)
	     E        D/F#
Cold tired fingers
		 D(no third)    
Tapping out your memories
             E    D/F#
Halfway sadness
		 D(no third)
Dazzled by the new
	         A
Your embrace 

Was all that I feared
              E
That whirling room
	       D/F#
We trade by vendu

	     E
Steely resolve 
         D      A
Is falling from me
	    E
My poor soul
	D	         A
All bruised passivity
		E
All your regrets
       D             A
Ride rough-shod over me
       E
I'm so glad
            D                A
That we're strangers when we meet
        E
I'm so thankful
            D                A
That we're strangers when we meet
        E
I'm in clover
                D		    A
That we're strangers when we meet
           E
Heel head over
             D              A
And we're strangers when we meet
